Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care.
Your son is suffering from common cold.
Steam inhalation, local instillation of saline nasal drops will help reducing symptoms.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg body weight given 4-6 hourly depending on the fever.
Cetrizine may give some relief.
Avoid cool drinks and ice creams and cold atmosphere.
Usually symptoms abate within a week.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
